You can download your HTC One X contacts to your computer by syncing the phone with your PC using the free HTC Sync Manager application. Install and configure HTC Sync Manager to manage your contacts both on your phone and your computer. You must have an application that stores and maintains contacts, such as Outlook, installed on the computer and you need the HTC USB data cable for the phone to connect the device to the PC. The Sync Manager app also enables you to sync your music library, your calendar and your browser bookmarks with your computer.

Download and install the HTC Sync Manager on your computer (see link in Resources). Once installation is complete, open the application.

Plug the HTC USB data cable into the micro-USB socket on the HTC One X. Plug the other end of the cable to a USB port on your computer. The phone registers to the Sync Manager software.

Click the “More” option in the top navigation bar of the HTC Sync Manager screen to open the More menu.

Click the “People” check box, and then click the “Settings” link in the People entry to open the People Settings menu. Use this menu to configure the syncing session for your contacts.

Click the “Sync All Contacts From” drop-down box, and then click the contact management application installed on your computer.

Tip

To automatically sync your phone with your computer when you connect the device using the USB data cable, check the “Open HTC Sync Manager When a Phone Connects” check box in the main screen of HTC Sync Manager, and then check the “Sync Automatically Whenever the Phone Connects” check box in the More menu.
